    buying 93 octane isn't too bad now since it's only 20 cents more per gallon. Gas is $2.88 around here now. Thank God it's finally coming down. Time for a senate investigation with the gas companies, they reap record profits while taking advantage of us during this crisis.

    Well I'm in Statesboro...And so far I have 270 miles and have a little more than half a tank left. I guessed thats about 24.5 mpg....this kicks ass so far, running 80 half the way and 65 half.

    Greg, We used to have our own gas station at the plant and the operators would blend 93 or higher octane gas into the 87 pump.

    If you get gas from a BP/Amoco station that looks clear like water, that's our Ultimate 93 octane. Used to be good gas until they took it away from us.
    I work there too (if you're talking about the south houston site), but I don't remember that... then again, I've been there for only a year and a half.

    I'm going to try adding 2oz of pure acetone per 10 gals this weekend. anything to make my gas budget hurt a little less.

    I just added 3 1/2 ounces or so to a full tank (around 26 gals) so I will get to see what it does on my commute to school tomorrow.

    Dude I'm willing to try anything to help out a little at the moment, I dont expect anything drastic, but if it dont tear up the engine, count me in!
